One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. <br />Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. <br />In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. <br />Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, <br />other times there were one set of footprints. <br /> <br />This bothered me because I noticed <br />that during the low periods of my life, <br />when I was suffering from <br />anguish, sorrow or defeat, <br />I could see only one set of footprints. <br /> <br />So I said to the Lord, <br />"You promised me Lord, <br />that if I followed you, <br />you would walk with me always. <br />But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life <br />there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. <br />Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?" <br /> <br />The Lord replied, <br />"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, <br />is when I carried you."<br /><br />Anonymous British<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/footprints-in-the-sand-19/
